Being Alone In This World
What are you most afraid of?
Being alone I replied. Why?
Because I could be surrounded
By people yet still feel alone.
People can give me all their love
Yet they do not see the tears I cry.
I can be stable and be well grounded
Yet the dirt and every single stone
Beneath my feet may give and no
One would care. Give up your fears,
But how can I trust everyone when
They give me no reason to be free?
Maybe I am afraid of losing my glow
And to be dull. It is losing the years
I spent building myself with the pen
In my grasp. I am afraid of losing me.

I think it's a very common fear but I also like how you really brought back around in the sense of losing one-self.
Best of luck in the comp.
